In the color browser under preferences/colors, it sometimes takes several attempts to get the requested color to "appear" in the foreground/background color entries, *and* several successful attempts to get them to appear in the terminal when "apply" is clicked. This is on a 16-bit display. gnome-core-1.4.0.4-38 under 7.2 i386 with all updates --jh--
Very strange, will look.
I haven't been able to reproduce this or gotten other reports of it. Note that the color selector is kind of hard to use, it's been revamped in GTK 2. It's easy to leave it stuck on black or white in GTK 1.2, when you thought you selected a color. At this point only release-critical showstoppers are going in to the GNOME 1.x packages, so deferring a lot of bugs to GNOME 2.
Ah! This makes sense. My foreground and background colors are black and white, respectively. Hope this is fixed in the new version. Hope RH releases it as an update if a regular OS release is more than a month away... --jh--
